About this product

Product Information

Chromecast is a gadget that allows the streaming of media from smaller devices such as smartphones and tablets to a television or monitor. All the receiving monitor needs is an HDMI port. Once plugged in, it simply requires a WiFi network to connect to other devices. After the connection is established, use the original device like a remote control as the big screen displays the media or Google Chrome browser window.

I've used 3 different similar devices and this is the only one that has consistent, long term screen mirroring and streaming without problems. Others have stlcreen tearing or signal loss after 1.3 hours or with high definition content or are affected by overheat. This Chromecast is well made to tolerate hard work and still stay consistent. It is all built into a small package too, while others require additional cables, this device only needs a USB and it'll go. I use a short USB to the back of my projector and the modest cast size does not look out of place. I give this a full 5/5 stars

I've tried for hours and hours trying to setup this unit up using my mobile, through a laptop on WiFi, etc it's just too hard and will go back in the box... Honestly thought it would be a lot easier, maybe it's my fault also should have looked into it a bit deeper...

You need Wi-Fi modem/router, Chromecast device, Smart Phone and HDMI port on the TV.
I looked into Google Chromecast as an alternative to watching catch up TV on my laptop.
When I discovered it would give me all the features of a Smart TV for a fraction of the price ($55), I eagerly placed an order.
I now have access to every Internet subscription service such as Netflix and Optus Fetch via my Wi-Fi. I can also browse the whole of the Internet and access any website on my TV.
acts as a TV remote control.
Highly recommened.

The same as any Chromecast 2 you can buy from the shop. We already had one in the lounge room now we have one in the shed. They are great for streaming all types of media to, all in 1080p if the source allows it.

I understand that a smartphone is required to use/control chromecast, however I'd like to know if u can use the internet tethering/personal hotspot connection on that same smart phone to run it, or is a separate wifi router required?
